Re: F/O Francis Richard Lee Mellersh 1105145

This is MH473 with the Central Fighter Establishment with their UX code , it was formed from the FIU and AFDU (later also Fighter Leaders School) in Oct. 1944. The CFE included the NFDW.
According to Morgan / Shacklady 473 went to the Wing in Feb. 1945 (?) after repairs. 473 later went to the Netherlands. These organisations are quite confusing due to re-designations; Fighter Interception Unit, Fighter Experimental Flight, Fighter Interception Development Squadron, Night Fighter Training Squadron, Naval Fighter Interception Unit, Night Fighter Development Wing, Air fighting Development Squadron, Air Fighting Development Unit, Central Fighter Establishment and Fighter Leaders School ( plus the minor ones ! ).

Hello,

It should be noted, that Spitfire LF.IX NH473 is also recorded as being on the strength of NFDW, Ford.
